In the current battery swapping cabinet operations, operators often face scenarios where batteries are aging or specific batches need urgent recall.
In traditional recycling processes, battery recovery relies on manual offline methods, lacking an effective immediate recycling mechanism. Batteries are often swapped out by riders during the recovery process, resulting in low recycling efficiency and introducing various safety risks.
To address this issue, HEXUP's intelligent battery swapping system has introduced a new battery recycling feature. Operators simply need to input the target battery or batch code into the backend system to set them as "recycling status."
The swapping cabinets will automatically inspect during low-usage periods. Once a battery in recycling status is detected, the corresponding compartment will be automatically disabled and locked.
This not only helps operators promptly recover used batteries but also prevents outdated batteries from affecting riders' work efficiency, which could lead to customer attrition for operators. Most importantly, after the swapping cabinet disables and locks the compartment with a battery in recycling status, the cabinet will no longer charge the battery. This reduces energy waste from continued charging of batteries awaiting recycling and prevents safety hazards and property damage caused by thermal runaway in aging batteries.
